Entire Category of Pieces

The rules on page 4 read, "... result in one entire category of pieces being completed, move Cleopatra one space forward..." In terms of mosaics, should this be interpreted as meaning the very last actual mosaic peice (which may never be played) or does it mean when the last "playable" mosaic peice is used?
In tonight's game, a player built a mosaic and in determining if he could create a sanctuary it was determined that no other mosaic peices were playable. As a result, we ruled that this qualified Cleopatra to move forward a space (and thus ending our game).

I would say Cleopatra moves when mosaic pieces can no longer be played even if there are remaining pieces. That category is closed, she advances, and if that is her last move, the game ends immediately.

As the rules indicate (sorry can't quote where off the top of my mind), when the mosaic on top of the pile can no longer be placed, it is immediately removed, and so on. So the pile should empty out if no pieces can be placed anymore.
In any case, the answer that ColtsFan gave is correct, if you can no longer place mosaics, that category is closed.

So now we know, and we played it right. It was a close game. Even though I lost the tie breaker, I still had a great time.
Thanks Eric!
Thanks Bob!
